Kind of like fine print. They should've explained it on the actual tool tip in game, instead there's nothing. It only says you get points for resetting. I did that. It didn't give me the points. Hence the complaining. Telling me to regrind the tree again after I already did it is really messed up.

WG did explain in their patch notes etc that you needed to regrind in order to get the points. Maybe it wasnt as clear cut and defined as it should have been but it was there if you read all the notes about it carefully.

As a personal opinion, RB is not for the average player. Its design and concept appears to be for the whale accounts, those with a tonne of time or a tonne of money to regrind or convert XP. To get the Coulbert you need to regrind at least 4 lines (inc the original bonus + dbl points for the first line reset.) To get the Ohio you need to regrind 5 lines (inc the original bonus + dbl points for the first line reset.) As a player you need to decide if its worth it given the av time it takes to grind a line out. Personally i reset 14 lines but then thats me.. atm i do have the time to regrind them and tbh my port is also full of prem boats so i dont miss my tech tree lines to much. Ive done 2 already and am just about finished lines 3 and 4.

probably one of those people that dont have the "time" to read updates or dont come forum often 🙄

This is exactly what's wrong with the average playerbase in general. Most of them never bother to look for the more detailed info about anything in the game other than the raw info they get to find in the game client.

Well, to be honest, this rubbish was a whole heap more complicated than could be fitted in game to explain how, why, maybe, what, etc it worked and most people won't click external virus laden links. You practically have to trawl through the information worksheet elsewhere to learn what it actually did.

That said, that is not an excuse if people want to click that button.

I was initially in the grey area about this awful feature until I figured out the entire "repopulate low & mid tier" turned out to be a nonsense. Like seriously...

Unfortunately I belong to that group that "has huge amounts of xp sitting on ships and consumables lying all over the place and how tedious and unfun it is to play certain ships" that this rubbish was supposed to "cater to". When you work that hard to end up at T10 and are asked to "work 6 times harder again" to get some crap, you know that there is a big lie in their words. I let the masochists among our community enjoy their M, but personally, I am schadenfreude, not masochist.
